pai

The easy input wrapper for PHP.

Abandoned: Use the stdin class of Asyncore, instead.

Why?

• Asynchronous input on Windows is only possible using workarounds. This is a known issue but no one is interested in solving it.
• STDIN is entirely broken on Windows as of 7.4.

When?

Whenever you need asynchronous or synchronous input of lines to work on all operating systems. If you need character-by-character input, I’m afraid your script will not work on Windows, regardless of what you do.

Installation

pai has no prerequisites, you can simply composer require hell-sh/pai or copy the src folder and require the pai.php in there.

All functions on hellsh\pai are documented here.
